Visit Rwanda deal does not ‘match ethics’ of PSG – Mulumbu
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu has spoken out against the club’s sponsorship deal with Rwanda, stating that it does not match the ethics of the football club.
In an interview with French sports outlet RMC Sport, Mulumbu expressed his concerns about the partnership, which sees the Visit Rwanda logo displayed on PSG’s training kits.
According to Mulumbu, Rwanda is a country with a troubled human rights record, and he believes that it is not appropriate for PSG to be promoting a nation with such issues.
The midfielder went on to say that the deal is purely about money and that the club should consider the impact of their partnerships on their reputation and values.
Mulumbu’s comments have sparked a debate among football fans and analysts, with some agreeing with his stance and others defending the club’s right to seek out sponsorship deals.
PSG has yet to respond to Mulumbu’s remarks, but the situation has put a spotlight on the ethical considerations that football clubs must take into account when entering into sponsorship agreements.
It remains to be seen how this controversy will affect PSG’s relationship with Rwanda and whether the club will reconsider their partnership in light of Mulumbu’s criticisms.
As the debate continues, Mulumbu’s comments serve as a reminder of the importance of considering ethics and values when forming business partnerships, even in the world of sports.
